Solid Waste Facility
Gordon Solid Waste Collection Site
Mari Sandoz Sandhills Trail, Gordon, NE 69343
Gordon Solid Waste Collection Site sits on Mari Sandoz Sandhills Trail and is where locals bring household trash, recycling and yard clippings. Folks from Gordon and nearby ranches use it for routine drop-offs and seasonal cleanups.
The site looks like a small town collection point - gravel driveways, a short entrance road, and usually a booth near the front. Pull up to the entrance area and follow the traffic flow for unloading; lines can form when it's busy. Recycling bins and piles for yard waste are commonly off to one side, separate from general trash, so sorting ahead of time helps. Weekends and spring cleanup season are the busiest times, with slower service then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort loads at home: flatten cardboard, bundle brush, and keep recyclables separate to speed unloading.
- Secure loose items with a tarp or straps; winds out in the Sandhills can send light stuff flying.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible - midweek trips usually go quicker.
